I found a bucket of 'mother of vinegar' in my storehouse the other day. Haven't fed the stuff in 4-5 years. It was a 5 gallon, insulated, gatorade jug (think softball team/soccer) half filled with raisins, water, fruit juice and vinegar 'mother.
Opened it to show a friend (mojo) and added a handful of the mother to a jar of apple juice that I had on hand. Still active after years of dormancy, still a deep, rich 'vinegar' odor. Does anyone else here make thier own vinegar? Use it for storing eggs? pickles? It has been years (obviously) since I had any interest in it, and could use afew pointers to bring me back up to date on homemade vinegar, shelf life, and production. TRG |
